What Is Going On With Rangers Forward Zibanejad?

Coming into his team’s first-round Stanley Cup playoff series with the New Jersey Devils, New York Rangers forward Mika Zibanejad was flying high. Zibanejad, 30, had a career-best regular season this year. He finished the season with 39 goals and 52 assists for 91 points, good for second on the team behind Artemi Panarin (91 […]

The Kids Are Alright

There is no doubt that everyone will mention the usual suspects when it comes to the New York Rangers offense. Fans will talk about Mika Zibanejad, Artemi Panarin, Chris Kreider, Vladimir Tarasenko, Patrick Kane, Vincent Trocheck, and Adam Fox (Yes, I know he is a defenseman). It is these players that have been producing for […]

Rangers’ Shesterkin Continues to Struggle

In a game where the New York Rangers outshot their opponent 51-21, one would think that the Blueshirts would come away with a victory, right? Wrong.

Rangers Acquire Shiny New Toy in Tarasenko from the Blues

While the New York Rangers are currently (Thursday, February 9) sitting pretty in terms of being in a playoff spot in a tight Eastern Conference, one thing they have struggled with all season long is line combinations.

Rangers Need to Hit The Ground Running Out of the Break

With the NHL All-Star break currently going on and teams and players who are not involved taking a nice vacation, getting some important rest, and resetting their respective bodies for the second half of the season, it is time for many teams in this 32-team league to start gearing up for a Stanley Cup Playoff […]

Cuylle’s First Game, Kravtsov Scratched, & More Line Blender

Uneventful would be a charitable way to talk about Will Cuylle’s first NHL game. His line got just over five minutes of ice time in Wednesday night’s game against the Leafs, low even for a fourth line. They were on the ice for the Leafs’ first goal of the night, which might’ve played a part […]

The Evolution of Filip Chytil

It has always been a mixed bag when it comes to the New York Rangers and the success of young players. Guys like Pavel Brendl, Hugh Jessiman, Al Montoya, Manny Malhotra, Jamie Lundmark, and several others never really got the job done, whether it was with the Blueshirts or in the NHL.

The Emergence of Rangers Defenseman Braden Schneider

When you are a defenseman on the New York Rangers, it is easy to fly under the radar. The Blueshirts have a plethora of excellent to solid defensemen.

Who is Alexis Lafrenière? Upcoming Boom, Bust, or Bait?

Lafrenière is a puzzling player to evaluate. He’s like an inkblot test that shows you whatever it is you want to see in him. Some see a true 1OA draft pick who simply hasn’t been given the opportunity to grow and gain confidence in the league. Others see a player with the NHL skillset of […]

We Were On A Break! NY Rangers Fall At MSG To Washington Capitals 4-0 With Rusty, Listless Performance.

Well then, someone apparently forgot to tell the team we were back from the break. The NY Rangers lost to the Washington Capitals 4-0 last night with an uninspiring performance that is best left forgotten as soon as possible. However, for closure, let’s quickly break it down.
